Ingredients

3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ cups cocoa powder
1 g (0.03 oz) cinnamon powder I used ½ teaspoon
1 g (0.03 oz) nutmeg powder I used ½ teaspoon
3/4 cups castor sugar plus 2 tablespoons
1 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs beaten- save up a tablespoon of egg white, put aside.
½ cups almonds (I used more)

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, cinnamon and nutmeg powder, sieved.
Dry roast the almonds with temperature 150°C (300°F) until fragrant, removed and let cool.
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
Add sugar and salt into the flours mixture, stir to combine.
Pour in beaten eggs and mix, meanwhile add in almonds and form dough.
Divide dough to 2 equal portions, roll into log shapes and transferred to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Flatten the dough to get 3 inches (7cm) in width and ½ inch (1cm) in height. Brush with the egg white.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes on the lower shelf.
Removed from oven and let cool for approximately 15 minutes. Lower oven temperature to 150°C (300°F).
Use a serrated knife to cut into thin slices (1cm or less). Arranged the slices on baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes till dry and crisp.

Notes

1. If the dough is sticky, dust hand and countertop with flour for easy handling.
2. I cut my biscotti to very thin slices (2 mm), to make biscotti chips. Thus the final baking time is lesser (approximately 12 minutes, 6 minutes each side for even browning).
